Time passed very quickly. In the week before the new year, the Kingdom of Thresh held an annual summary meeting in Stormwind Castle and made detailed plans for specific tasks for the new year.
After experiencing the battle with the Burning Legion, Prior's personal reputation rose again, especially among the kobolds.
In terms of racial history, kobolds have been as long as dwarves, but in the long history of kobolds, there really are not many major events worthy of being praised and written about.
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Thresh, under the leadership of Prell, the kobolds in the Stonetalon Mountains have begun to move from inward to outward, exploring and understanding the outside world bit by bit, and have begun to gradually participate in major events in the entire world.
At least this small force, which was only established two years ago, has been recognized by all the races, clans, and forces participating in the battle to defend the World Tree. This was also the main reason why Prell had to send troops to join the battle in the first place.
Just after the New Year, Thrall led a team to visit again. The orcs did not have a New Year tradition. After returning from Mount Hyjal, Thrall stayed in the orc camp in Ashenvale.
Now the night elves are busy settling down the civilians who fled from Mount Hyjal. It is said that they are moving westward, making Ashenvale and Darkshore their new homes.
Although Cenarius was killed by Archimonde, and the night elves had no time to take care of the orcs for the time being, Thrall still sent a large number of scouts, focusing on reconnaissance and exploration in the Azshara region and the northern Barrens.
Cenarius said at the beginning that the night elves did not welcome the orcs and hoped that the orcs would leave Ashenvale as soon as possible. Thrall was not willing to rely on others. Likewise, the orcs were not willing to wait until the settled night elves suddenly came to expel them.
So soon, Thrall, Grom and other orc leaders chose the location of their new home, which was exactly the same valley that Prell had led his troops to clean up in an extermination manner, the future Orgrimmar.
The scorpions there gathered a small number again. Thrall and others were very satisfied with the terrain here, so they began to gradually move here, but they soon discovered the marks left by Prell, and then the orc miners and
The blacksmiths discovered that this might be a small mineral vein.
So Thrall came to the door this time. In addition to hoping that the Kingdom of Thresh could provide the orcs with a batch of minerals needed to build the city of Orgrimmar, he also made a suggestion, hoping that Prell could send some kobold miners to bring the orcs back to Orgrimmar.
Every mine was dug.
Most of the orcs who were rescued and called together by Thrall were warriors. After the failure of the second orc invasion war, the orcs who fled, except for the Frostwolf clan, almost retained the professions needed for the clan's survival and development.
Almost all other ethnic groups have only combatants left.
So Thrall now also lacks various related talents, but fortunately he has trolls and goblin allies. Considering that mining is a job that requires both technology and physical strength, after discussing with other leaders, Thrall decided to cooperate with the Kingdom of Thresh.
cooperate.
After coming into contact with Prell, Thrall was full of curiosity and affection for the kobold paladin. He hoped that his tribe and allies would get help from the natives, at least until the orcs gained a foothold, Thrall was unwilling to fight with him.
Too many conflicts of any race.
Prell readily agreed to this request. After leading his troops to sweep the Silt Swamp and Orgrimmar Valley, if the Kingdom of Thresh had not been short of manpower, Prell would have wanted to move the Pumice Mine and Orgrimmar
The mine was dug out.
Since Sal made this request, Prell took out the map, pointed out the location of the pumice mine, and said: "After we attacked this mine, it was closed due to lack of manpower. Dear Chief
, I think we can cooperate as three parties to operate this mine together!"
Salton was immediately attracted. The pumice mine was very close to the west side of Orgrimmar Valley. If it was reopened, it would mean that some mineral support could be provided nearby to the city to be built.
"Our Kingdom of Thresh is currently underpopulated, so I think we can cooperate with our tauren friends. Their blacksmith skills are very good and they are a very good partner." Prell said. Thrall looked at him and nodded with a smile.
.
So after lingering for a few days, Thrall once again confirmed a large order with Prell, including minerals, tools, linen cloth and a small amount of alcohol. Before leaving, the orc chief said intentionally or unintentionally: "A group of goblins passed by.
Mr. Gazlowe found me, hoping to regain the development permit for the silt swamp. Now it seems that with the three of us joining in, the goblins are no longer needed!"
Prell laughed heartily. Sal said it very cryptically. It was obvious that he had received human education and learned some human thinking.
The Silt Swamp is too close to Orgrimmar, so close that it is impossible for the orcs to hand it over to a group of greedy and destructive goblins who are notorious in the world, and the other party is a venture capital company.
Although the Tauren did not have representatives at the meeting, Prell and Thrall still tacitly included the Tauren in the meeting. Each of the three companies would hold one-third of the shares. As for the more specific distribution, it was left to others to detail.
Talked.
Gonzalo Swift Wind excitedly rushed to Thunder Bluff with the news. The tauren accounted for one-third of the oil wells in the swamp, the pumice mine, and the mine in Orgrimmar, which is quite a bit.
So Prell and Thrall came to send money to the tauren.
For Prell and Thrall, this is a sign of further friendship with the tauren. After experiencing the Battle of Mount Hyjal, they both understand that when their own strength is not strong enough, they can stay together and help each other.
It became the best choice.
Not long after Thrall left, Prell received a notice that a night elf delegation was coming to the Gale Valley, so he left Lao Chen to stay in the Rolling Rock Valley while he and Rexxar returned to the Gale Valley.
.
In Black Wolf Town, Prell met Fandral Staghelm and his party. This disciple of Malfurion did not go out to fight in Mount Hyjal. Malfurion gave him another important task, which was to take charge of
The eradication of the remaining demons in Felwood.
After all, Prell participated in the battle to defend Mount Hyjal, so Fandral Staghelm had nothing to hide. He said bluntly: "After the Mount Hyjal area was wreaked havoc by the undead and demons, the World Tree Nordasi
We were almost destroyed and almost lost our vitality. That land is no longer suitable for us to continue to survive.
My people are moving around, preparing to find a new home. Currently, a large number of our people are settled in the Ashenvale and Darkshore areas, so we need many supplies necessary for survival."
Prell said: "The Kingdom of Thresh is willing to do its best to provide you with all the supplies you need to express our small respect for the great sacrifices the night elves have made to defend the world!"
Fandral's expression softened and he said: "The night elves will remember your friendship with the Kingdom of Thresh!" Prell smiled, and he remembered what Merry Winterwind said. Even if he comes to ask for help, Fandral will not be able to help him.
Dal Staghelm's tone was still firm.
But as Prell said, the night elves drove Archimonde back to the Twisting Nether at the cost of losing immortality. He admired the sacrifices of the night elves, but the money they deserved would not be less.
The list of supplies Fandral proposed to Prell was almost identical to what Thrall proposed, except that there was an additional item seeking food trade.
Prell is in a dilemma, because the food in Thresh Kingdom is not enough to eat, and he still needs to buy it from the tauren. The diet of kobolds and tauren are different. Tauren are nomadic people, and the Mulgore region is also suitable for hunting.
, but the situation is different in the Stonetalon Mountains, so the kobolds are more inclined to agricultural products.
He hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fandal, there is really nothing we can do about food trade. As you know, kobolds are not good at agricultural cultivation, and our hunting conditions are not excellent."
Fandral Staghelm sighed. In fact, since Prell killed the earthling Gol'Grok, the night elves began to pay attention to the kobold group again. He also understood that Preel was not lying.
"Then, let's talk about other trade payments." Fandral said. He is a shrewd person with a flexible and deep mind. This is the main reason why he was sent by Malfurion to discuss with Prell.
Just like the business negotiations with Thrall, Prell also gave the night elves a certain price concession. This is why Prell forcibly attacked the Wind Valley, attacked the silt swamp, and drove the venture capital company's forces out of the Stonetalon Mountains and the Barrens.
The greatest benefit gained by the land queen.
The Kingdom of Thresh has now become the largest supplier of minerals in the entire northern part of Kalimdor. It does not need to pass through Treasure Bay to have certain mineral pricing and trading rights. This is what Prell fights for for the Kingdom of Thresh.
The greatest benefits come.
Fandral Staghelm is very satisfied with the results of the trade. He has obtained many materials that the night elves need and can obtain from the Kingdom of Thresh.
The night before Fandral Staghelm led the team to leave, the two people sat together again. Prell asked: "There was news from the orcs some time ago. There seemed to be a war in the Azshara region. The orcs
The scouts discovered that a night elf army was fighting with the naga. The leader of the naga side seemed to be a night elf."
Fandral curled his lips: "That's the traitor Illidan!" Prell shrugged. Obviously Fandral was unhappy with Tyrande and Malfurion letting Illidan go without permission, but Malfurion
After all, he is his mentor, so he can't show it too obviously.
"Maybe Illidan has other ideas?"
Fandral laughed: "A cunning wizard who has taken refuge in the Burning Legion and has turned into a demon, what can he think? Chief Prell, you always think about people's hearts too well. This world is a mess."
There are too many traitors who are afraid of the cruelty and power of the Burning Legion and have chosen to join them!"
Prell also laughed and asked: "So, what is the attitude of the night elves towards the orcs?"
Fandral was silent for a while and said: "We do not welcome the arrival of the orcs, but since the orcs have expressed their introspection and want to start a new life, we have a wait-and-see attitude!"
Prell nodded. He knew that the reason why Fandral said this was that the night elves did not fully trust the orcs because they helped defend against the invasion of the Burning Legion. It was just that they had just experienced a great battle and their strength was greatly damaged.
There is nothing we can do about the orcs for the time being.
